This is the Palace of Winds. It was basically used as a big private balcony. It allowed the ladies of the royal family to be able to watch what was happening in the street (for example, festivals) without being seen.
Jantar Mantar is a collection of astronomical instruments built by King Sawai Jai Sing II. It was completed in 1734 and includes the world's largest sundial (pictured above).
This section involved star signs. Clara and I are both Cancer.
Another angle of that huge sundial. We were shown that the instruments are very accurate.
Another sight from the car window as we drove through Jaipur.
